"Taqueria Senaida is a drive-thru institution in Hayward, with cars lining up for fresh and affordable Mexican and Tex-Mex since 1979. Go for those crispy, hard-shell tacos." - Becky Duffett

"A line of cars regularly snakes onto the stretch of Tennyson Road in Hayward that curves by Taqueria Senaida’s drive-thru. The menu is affixed to the front of an old van in the parking lot and in its window, a hand-written sign announces pork and chicken tamales. Hefty in size, the masa is flavorful with ample, well-seasoned meat inside." - Annelies Zijderveld, Dianne de Guzman, Paolo Bicchieri

"The drive-thru is open at this Hayward institution, and the line of cars waiting to place their orders is as long as ever. The ground beef hard-shell crispy tacos are the thing to get here, and the SoCal-style carne asada fries are also excellent." - Luke Tsai

I have no idea why this place has good reviews. One of the worse Mexican food. I ordered super nachos and they added so much cheese. I also added a video. Sad! Also, you won’t know what you paid for from the receipt.

I went here on a recommendation from my Uber driver. I must say the food was pretty good 👍🏾 😋. It's not much of a dining place, but it is worthy of a visit. The rest is up to you! I had chicken 🐔 tacos 🌮. Maybe next time, I'll sit down at the tables outside provided.

It was so disgusting, me and my partner ordered A happy and Super burrito. There was barely any meat in it, it tasted like an old wet rag. The salsa is so disappointingly distasteful and it tasted water down. The beans in the burrito also taste water down. Couldn’t even finish our meal. It was disappointing. Don’t recommend.

Very fast burrito! Although, the flavor was very plain. If you like simple rice and beans, then it's quite comforting! But not very flavorful.

I grew up eating at this place. I left Hayward for 27 years and came back only to find that this wonderful Neighborhood Establishment is just a good if not better then I left it. Trust me, many a nights I thought of them delicious burritos. The smells of this place remind me of home cooking. Thanks for not changing in 27 years. I believe it only got better.

Their Carne Asada is superb it's juicy high end cut with a grilled taste to it. All I've ever gotten from there is a carne asada all meat burrito spicy. Hits the spot every time.

This is truly sad. I’ve ordered nachos with carne asada many times in the past, but this has to be the worse plate I’ve ever seen/eaten. I paid 13 dollars for a like 20 tortilla chips with microwaved cheese and a sad side of what they call their “guacamole”. There were no onions, no tomatoes, and no cilantro. The saddest part was just the about of chips I got. I’ve gotten so much more with much better effort with 11 dollars at la chapirrita, which is down the street btw, and was originally my first option until I found out they were closed. So I ended up here thinking it would be good since a lot cars were waiting at the drive through. Sadly it’s just another Arby’s drive in.
